The R300 000 Grade 2 Astrapak 1900, a key race on the Champions Season programme and a vital stepping stone into the 112th running of the Vodacom Durban July for some hopefuls, has drawn a massive entry of 46 horses including a number of major race winners.
Nominations for the race closed on Wednesday and the entries included a six-horse contingent from the powerful Charles Laird stable headed by last year's Vodacom Durban July winner, Hunting Tower. The team also includes the previous GommaGomma Challenge winner PICK SIX.
There is a strong entry of 18 runners from Cape-based stables with Mike Bass nominating six horses, Dean Kannemeyer four and both Joey Ramsden and Glen Kotzen entering three horses.
The Gauteng entries include five from the Sean Tarry and four from the Mike de Kock yards.
A notable entry from Gauteng is the Makaarem gelding CATMANDU from the yard of Andre Kirsten. The four-year-old has an excellent record of five wins and nine places from 18 starts including placings in the Wolf Power Handicap, the Drumstar Handicap, the Horse Chestnut and an impressive third in the recent Gommagomma Challenge.
The Mike Bass team includes the Jet Master gelding Floatyourboat who ran second in the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate and was strongly fancied to win the J&B Met where he finished just 2.3 lengths behind stable companion, Pocket Power.

World Wilderness Congress
History and Background
The World Wilderness Congress (WWC) is an ongoing conservation project, focused on practical outcomes in policy, new wilderness areas, new funding mechanisms, trainings for communities and professionals, and more.
This is a Priority Project of, and receives support from, Wilderness Foundation Global.
Now the world's longest-running, public conservation project and environmental forum, the World Wilderness Congress has humble beginnings. WILD Foundation founder Ian Player and his Zulu mentor Magqubu Ntombela were sitting on the banks of the Imfolozi River in 1974. As a team, they had guided many small trips into the African wilderness, leading groups of 8 people at a time for 5 days on trail. This wilderness experience became the Wilderness Leadership School, and the experiences continue to forever change the lives of many participants.
On this particular day, however, Magqubu turned to Ian and proposed something that has distinctly influenced the global wilderness conservation scene: "We are doing good work," he said, "but we need to do more. We should call an INDABA-KULU, a great gathering, for all people to come together for wilderness."
Three years later, the World Wilderness Congress convened in South Africa, during the apartheid era when it was illegal for all races to gather in one place…but they did. It was a pioneering event in many ways, and introduced the concept of wilderness as an issue of international importance, and the protection of wild nature a necessity for human health and sanity, and for a "right relationship" between people and nature. The Australians were so impressed they asked if there could be a second one, in their country- and that is where Ian Player met Vance Martin. And thus, the story continued. Each Congress pioneered new results and generated real, practical, and positive conservation results globally. The Congress has now convened 10 times on 5 continents and is the world's longest-running, public, international conservation project and environmental forum.
Each WWC has a project cycle of two to three years, during which time objectives are identified and coalitions formed to achieve them. The project cycle culminates in an indaba, to use Magqubu's term, which is not your typical "conference." The WWC process and indaba integrates leaders from the arts, science, management, government, academia, traditional and native communities, youth and young professionals, corporate sector and the public into a multi-year conservation program, with unique results at each convening. It is the best-known and most effective global platform for debating and acting on wilderness issues. The WWC provides a balanced approach, taking on highly charged issues in a constructive manner and, most importantly, creating and/or helping to facilitate solutions.
WWCs are also critical venues for education, training, networking, and information exchange across diverse groups. Following each WWC process, we now continue to build this global wilderness community through online communications as we prepare each other for the next.
From 4-10 October, 2013, the WILD10 process took place in Salamanca, Western Spain, where some 1500 delegates from many countries converged, joined by many thousands more online, for 7 days of varied and exciting activities, announcements, cultural events, trainings, associated meetings and symposia, and more.
The main Congress was also preceded by a 2 day Global Intergovernmental Forum on Wilderness (GIFW), in Salamanca, for government employees of all types – national, provincial, local, communal, tribal, international agencies.

HIGHTSTOWN>> Hightstown High School was evacuated Monday morning after authorities found a suspicious device in a mens restroom.
Officials say school administrators learned about the device around 9 a.m. and notified police.
Students were transported to another school within the district, according to police officials who say no one was injured as a result of the threat.
Officials say the device was found in a mens restroom in the southeast section of the school, which is located on Leshin Lane. The object turned out to be an unsophisticated device consisting of computer parts. Police determined it was not hazardous.
The investigation remains ongoing by Hightstown PD along with assistance from other local agencies and New Jersey State Police.

1. Key Characteristics
- AKC Group: Sporting
- Height: 13.5–15.5 inches
- Weight: 15–30 pounds
- Life Expectancy: 15 years
The Cocker Spaniel is one of the most popular dog breeds, according to the American Kennel Club's registration statistics. They are medium-sized, active sporting dogs, the smallest spaniel breed and the smallest dog in the sporting group.
The coat can be silky, wavy or flat; it comes in colors of black, black and tan, parti-colored or any other solid color. Field breed lines are bred for work and have shorter coats. Show or pet breed lines typically have longer coats.
The eyes are round and dark, and the ears are low-set and feathered. The tail is usually docked, although this is illegal in much of Europe for any non-working dog.
2. Where They Came From
Cocker spaniels' name is derived from their accuracy and efficiency with woodcocks, a game bird. The breed entered English dog shows in 1883 as a single breed and was later added to their kennel club in 1892.
- Don't Miss: 5 Tiny Dogs That Stay Small
The breed has changed since being developed in America in the early 1880s, evolving with differences in size and coloring. For these reasons, the breed is called the American Cocker Spaniel to differentiate it from the original English Cocker Spaniel. The American Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1878.
3. How Friendly Are They?
This breed of spaniel is intelligent, gentle, playful, devoted, dependable and can be amusing. They have a strong desire to hunt and are happy to work.
They can suffer from separation anxiety so should not be left alone for long periods of time. They can also be shy; thorough socialization is required. They are good with children and other pets and are easy to train. Consistent training is strongly recommended to prevent negative behavior.
4. Is This the Right Dog for You?
[efspanel style="" type=""]
[efsiconheading type="h4″ style="fi-guide-dog"]Exercise Needs[/efsiconheading]
[efsprogressbar value="50″ bartype="success"]
MEDIUM: The Cocker Spaniel is a well-balanced, medium-sized dog capable of great speed and endurance. Daily exercise is a must, even though they're active indoors. They're fine in apartments as long as daily exercise is provided.
[efsiconheading type="h4″ style="fi-paw"]Grooming Needs[/efsiconheading]
[efsprogressbar value="50″ bartype="success"]
MEDIUM: Brush this average shedder daily to prevent matting. The coat needs trimming every few months if kept long — less so if the coat is shorter. The eyes need regular cleaning — they tear often and can stain the facial hair. Bathe as needed.
Perform regular maintenance: Brush the teeth, keep the nails trimmed at a comfortable length and clean the ears regularly. Ear cleaning is especially important for working breeds who frequent wooded areas, and their coats should also be checked for debris.
[efsiconheading type="h4″ style="fi-heart"]Health Problems[/efsiconheading]
[efsprogressbar value="100″ bartype="alert"]
VERY HIGH: American Cocker Spaniels have several health problems common to the breed:
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Luxated patella (knee)
- Hip dysplasia
- Elbow dysplasia
- Ectropion (drooping of the lower eyelid)
- Entropion (inward eyelid)
- Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA)
- Allergies
- Cherry eye
- Seborrhea (skin disease)
- Lip fold pyoderma (additional skin fold)
- Otitis externa (ear canal inflammation)
- Liver disease
- Urolithiasis (stones in the urinary tract)
- Congestive heart failure
- Phosphofructokinase deficiency (inherited disorder causing breakdown of red blood cells)
- Cardiomyopathy
- Gastric torsion
- IMHA (immune mediated hemolytic anemia)
Because of the long list of potential health problems, ask for health certificates and clearances on your dog or their parents. When adopting from a shelter or rescue, these records are unlikely to be available.
The American Spaniel Club Foundation, Inc. offers a health and research section for additional information about health problems that affect Cocker Spaniels. They are also involved in grants and research given to organizations and universities for the purpose of studying specific health problems common to this breed. The organization also offers a list of rescue groups throughout the U.S.
Somehow, I don't think this "bad puppy" is going to get punished…
5. Where to Adopt One?
Purebred dogs end up in shelters and rescues every day, so start your search with those resources or check our adoptable dog search and Cocker Spaniel rescue groups.
If using a breeder, make sure the breeder is legitimate and has no signs of running a puppy mill. And remember: Ask for health clearances or any other tests performed on the parents of the dog you intend to bring home.

Featuring six virtuoso guitarists from four countries (Japan, Canada, Belgium, and US), California Guitar Trio (CGT) and Montreal Guitar Trio (MG3) fuse over 40 years of combined performing experience into one unique six-by-6-string 'phenomensemble'. In a pleasantly surprising way, CGT's steel stringed-guitars blend naturally with MG3's nylon-stringed guitars, as each trios fret boards chase the others' original compositions and new arrangements of progressive rock, world, jazz and classical music.
Inspired, in 2009, by an impromptu studio session together in Montreal, CGT and MG3 released a live recording in 2011, landed showcases at numerous arts presenter conferences, and sustained co-bill touring.

The Modal Ontological Argument
Dating as far back as the Saint Anslem, as this argument has been honnored by philosphers on every side of the spectrum. I shall be definding the version of this argument that was made popular by Alvin Plantinga. His model uses the S5 model and thus is immune to the popular arguments against that philospher Kant has made and hence making Kant's argument void. I shall also argue another point made famous by William Criag: The Argument is bellow.
1. It is possible that a maximally great being exists.
2. If it is possible that a maximally great being exists, then a maximally great being exists in some possible world.
3. If a maximally great being exists in some possible world, then it exists in every possible world.
4. If a maximally great being exists in every possible world, then it exists in the actual world.
5. If a maximally great being exists in the actual world, then a maximally great being exists.
6. Therefore, a maximally great being exists. [1]
Here we can see that we can already see that on face value that it is possible that God exists. Due to this small plausability we can see that at any slight chance proves that there is a God in some reality and hence this reality. In order for Con to disprove God he must show that it is impossible in every possible circumstance. Now as we look at the premise 1 and 2 we can see that God can exist which leads me into my S5 argument.
S5: If possibly necessarily P, then necessarily P [2]
This would mean if a MGB is possible then it exists in at least one possible world. Under this model it would have to exist in all possible worlds qua maximally great especially since MG entails absolute exsistance. Since this world is part of a string of possible worlds then God has no choice, but to exist in this world.
Anslem's OA
A statement is a priori = one can see that it is true using pure reason and given an understanding of the meanings of the words in it. We don't need empirical evidence to know that it's true. A priori statements seem to be true necessarily.
A statement is a posteriori = our evidence for its truth is empirical, or based on data that we receive via sense experience.
1. God, by definition, is the greatest possible being.
2. A being that does not exist in the real world is less great than a being that exists necessarily, or in all possible worlds.
3. Suppose that God (the greatest possible being) does not exist in the real world.
4. If the greatest possible being does not exist in the real world, then He is not as great as the possible being who is just like him but who does exist in the real world.
5. But the greatest possible being can't be less great than some other possible being. To say that "the being than which none greater is possible is a being than which a greater is possible" is to say something that's necessarily false, because self-contradictory.
6. The supposition in 3 is false. God does exist in the real world. And he exists not contingently, but necessarily, or in all possible worlds. It is impossible for God not to exist. [3]
Here we can see that Point 6 is completely true. If we had this maximumly great being of some sort we could see that even if we took him out of our universe that there would still be a Maximumly Great Being. Thus we can simplify to see that when combined with the S5 argument of the Ontoligcal argument that God is Possible in All worlds and because of this we can see that it's a posteriori for God to Exist and arguing otherwise is futile.
Since God is actually A priori meaning that he is prior knowledge we can see that my opponent does know God on that ground alone. Not to mention since the greatest thing in the universe is God we can see that he would know God as it is the Greatest Possible thing that he could imagine.

lies exist
possibilities are not real, to you, god is as possible as not god.. belief is doubt, as the opposite is possible
reality is happening not can happen
do you know the unknown?
Well that's fallacy as we can see if it's Neccesarially Possible then is Neccessarially. Meaning that if it's possible it can happen in this case meaning that by this logic God has no choice, but to exist.
Lies do exist, but this is irrelevant to the topic.
Reality is happening and as reality is happening so is God.
Only wise men know what they do not know.
right, a wise man chooses to believe in talking snakes without evidence any day of the week
You do not know that. We have the Possible Worlds. How do we not know that you are just in a Possible World and not the real world? If it's possible in all Possible Worlds than it can and most likely will happen.
we have possible red elephants from lost and never to be seen again pages from the bible that states the god is really the red king elephant
What if God really is? We wouldn't know what red is, because this may not be the real world, but a possible world where red is really gray and we can see that our line of thinking is false by this means. God has no choice, but to exist.
what if a tiny stone drops on your head as you read this last word?
life is.. not can be
lies exist
I can read it, because after it did I would finish it.
Well if Life is, then since God created Life, then by your logic God exists.
Extend all points across the board.

Reasons for voting decision: Grammar to Con, though Con makes quite a few mistakes, and Pro wins on spelling without the caps. Pro failed to argue against Con's argument, so 3 points to con. I do this b/c Pro seems to not try with caps. Con gives sources, so +2 for con. My own opinions: (1) I say that JTB is true: Knowledge = justified true belief. (2) Reality couldn't happen if it isn't possible to happen. (3) I am against Anselm's Ontological argument, as I see a problem with it, unfortunately. The reason is that there is a jump from the mental to the real world that must be explained, that pro was trying to get at, but couldn't distinguish clearly enough. Possibilities are real in and of themselves, as possibilities. The way William Craig's Argument is given makes it harder to refute, which is legitimate, but I have a beef with #3, as this is a jump from the mental world to the real world. Also, one can replace "maximally great being" with some other imaginary thing, and the same results would occur.

Reasons for voting decision: This is an easy decision for me. Con provides arguments. One of these including an ontological argument. Neither this argument or any arguments provided by Con were refuted by Pro. They made assertions that were easily refuted by Con. Since Pro failed to directly respond to any odf Con's arguments, I have been given no other choice other than to award Con the win.

FOOTBALLER Ryan Thomson was arrested last night accused of attacking a taxi driver.
The Dunfermline Athletic star walked into a police station after a video showing a man launching himself time and time again at cabbie John Reilly was posted online.
The 21-year-old's arrest came within hours of the Record publishing shocking images of an incident on Glasgow's southside.
John, 50, had picked up a group of friends in Cardonald, Glasgow, for a hire to the city centre.
But private hire driver John had to stop his car when two passengers – a male and a female – started fighting in the back seat.
The images of what happened next were posted on Liveleaks – a website normally reserved for scenes of conflict from war.
People from all over the world left comments, many deriding "Weegies".
The man had repeatedly booted a door panel on the Renault Berlingo cab before John got out to stop him.
But after wrestling John to the floor, the man and two female friends aim punches at the shocked cabbie.
The females then turn peacemakers and try to stop the enraged attacker getting at John.
But at one stage, he bursts through and aims a string of punches at John.
John somehow manages to get free and then flees in his cab.
As he drives away, the man again attacks the cab, slamming his fist into the roof.
Despite the incident – which left John shaken and his cab with £400 worth of damage to a door, the roof, a wing and a door frame – the cabbie did not report it to police.
Yesterday, John said: "It is the kind of thing that has happened before and will happen again.
"It was around 9.30pm on Sunday, August 12, and we had an order to pick up a group in Cardonald.
"Everything was fine until a fight started in the back with this guy and a girl – I don't know if it was his girlfriend – punching lumps out of each other.
"I had no alternative but to stop the cab and ask them to get out.
"At first, they did so with no incident then this guy just started repeatedly booting the door.
"I had to get out to try to stop him and that's when all hell was let loose.
"As well as him going for me, a couple of the girls did too. They then tried to pull him away.
"But he was furious and blootered. He was crazy."
After the Record published the images on Tuesday, Strathclyde Police contacted John.
He has since made a full statement.
John said: "This guy's actions were unacceptable.
"Private hire drivers face these dangers all the time because, unlike taxis, we are not allowed to have partitions in the cab.
"It has left damage of between £300 and £400 on the cab.
"I'll not be claiming the insurance because it will just inflate my premium. Despite everything, I would not want this guy to lose his career or anything.
"I know that drink is no excuse but I was young once myself and I know how these things can develop.
"I didn't report it to the police."
As a youth, Thomson played for Rosshall Academy in Crookston and Harmony Row Boys' Club.
He made his Dunfermline debut in 2008 before being loaned out to Albion Rovers.
He is now a recognised member of the Pars' top team squad and was a regular in the Scottish Premier League last season.
Yesterday, Thomson was not at his home in Pollok, Glasgow.
A relative said: "He's not here. He'll not speak to you.
"I've got nothing to say about the footage. What do you think about it? You'll go and write what you want to write anyway."
A Strathclyde Police spokes-woman confirmed two people had been detained and then arrested in connection with the incident.
She said: "A 21-year-old man and woman have been arrested in connection with the alleged assault in Paisley Road West."
A spokesman for Dunfermline Athletic said: "We are awaiting the full details before any statement can be issued."

The renovations will accomplish two things. One, it will restore one of Chicago's landmarks to its former luster. The other, it will also make the crossing -- one that's been known as one of the icier pedestrian crossings -- safer.
Work is under way on the west side of the bridge. It will be completed in four phases in the next six months at the cost of $3.45 million. The project will replace the steel-plated sidewalk with non-slip fiberglass material and a new architectural railing reminiscent of the 1920's design of Edward Bennett. It will have new lighting, guardrails as well as flagpoles.
Once the cosmetics are complete, work to properly balance the bridge will begin.
"This structure is basically a gigantic teeter-totter with a very short side and very long side," said Thomas Powers, First Dept. Commissioner, CDOT. "So everything you do with the long side, which would be the part over the river, significantly affects the balance of the bridge.
"So we have to be cognizant about the weight that you take off versus the weight you put on. And our ability to change a steel surface for a lighter fiberglass surface allows us to go with a heavier railing, a more historic railing."
City officials say that on an average work day some 30,000 people use the Michigan Avenue Bridge to cross from one side of the river to the other.
This work should be completed by June.

[GSI 1:1 Interview] Ira Stevens, Managing Director at ScoutDragon
- by:
- in: Interviews
- 0 Comments
Ira Stevens is the founder and Managing Director at ScoutDragon, a website containing comprehensive statistics, video, and scouting information on Asian baseball teams and players. It is designed for use by Major League Baseball teams. ScoutDragon.com is the definitive resource for MLB front offices, scouts, and other staff seeking information on Asian players. Its detailed sections of news, information, and advanced statistics are unmatched by any other site, making it the definitive English language resource on Asian baseball and its players.
GSI: Can you tell me a little bit about your background?
Stevens: Let's see… I grew up like most kids, dreaming of being a baseball player and was lucky to play baseball in a hot bed of Massachusetts known as, Berkshire County. Unfortunately, I was not that good, got hurt and to tell you the truth, I have weak wrists (laughs). I also collected baseball cards as a kid, watched a lot of baseball games on TV (we had the New York and Boston cable channels), and started playing fantasy baseball when it was still known as "Rotisserie Baseball". I give credit to my dad, Peter Cimini, Jack Brennan, and Louis Orazio as my best baseball coaches and those who made the greatest impact on my baseball life. They not only taught me the fundamentals of baseball but showed me how to think deeply about the game of baseball.
GSI: How long have you lived in Japan?
Stevens: Well over 10 years. I seem to have lost count.
GSI: How did you become involved with your current profession?
Stevens: In the early 1990s, I started doing statistical research on Japanese Baseball. In 1995, I started my first company called Fantasy Sports Japan, (aka FSJ Sports). Then in 2006, we started designing ScoutDragon, which is a private English information and scouting system on baseball in Asia.
GSI: Your website ScoutDragon.com is subscription based. For people not familiar with what it is, can you tell us a little more about its content?
Stevens: Well, with ScoutDragon, we are trying to build the premier content and information system on baseball in Asia. Our main focus is Japan, but we also have information on Korea and to a lesser extent Taiwan. Our clients are MLB baseball teams.
GSI: What does your website feature?
Stevens: The easiest way to describe ScoutDragon is to imagine looking at baseball sites such as, MLB.com or ESPN and seeing comprehensive information on Asian baseball at your fingertips. Then imagine trying to get detailed information on Asian players, such as scouting reports, sabermetrics, past histories, etc. We are continuously trying to build new ideas and new functionalities into ScoutDragon, so the system just continues to grow.
GSI: How many MLB teams have you worked with?
Stevens: We have worked with as many as 10 teams over the past five years. Most teams and their scouts use ScoutDragon, while some other teams have asked to provide them with specific data and special reports.
GSI: How has the scouting presence of MLB teams in the Pacific Rim changed since you first arrived in Japan?
Stevens: Well, it went from only a few scouts making a trip here and there in the 1990s to teams now having scouts that are based in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.
GSI: How have advanced statistics and sabermetrics changed the way MLB teams scout in Japan?
Stevens: Data has changed all of baseball. Today's MLB teams and their scouts are always trying to look at all the angles. Some scouts still prefer to be only eyes on, and I believe this is the 'Art of scouting', but in the information age, all sorts of other information are available. Most MLB teams now have special data sections in their baseball operations department that go over various types of advanced data. Today there are MLB team's baseball operation staff members who routinely go over advanced statistics and sabermetrics on Asia, and none of them have even set foot in Japan and Korea. It was exactly this reason why we designed ScoutDragon. We wanted to bring all that information back to the MLB front office and put it at their fingertips in English, without having to be in Asia.
GSI: Can teams do anything to anticipate statistical drop-offs which may occur when a Japanese player comes to play in MLB?
Stevens: Well, yes and no. First, we all know there is some sort of statistical drop off by most players going to the MLB and you can do some modeling based on past player's performances. We have done this at ScoutDragon. However, the harder part is figuring out if the player can really make it into the MLB and if the player is really worth the investment by the MLB team. As we all know, some players have made it and been incredibly productive (Nomo, Hasegawa, Otsuka, H. Matsui, Ichiro, Aoki, Iguchi, Saito, Darvish, Iwakuma, Uehara, Kuroda, Tazawa) while others have not (Igawa, Irabu, K. Matsui, N. Nakamura, Kawakami, Shinjo, Jojima, Fukudome, Nishioka, Igarashi, Wada etc.)
GSI: Have you noticed particular statistics MLB teams place greater emphasis on when scouting Japanese players?
Stevens: I am not sure if there is one particular statistic, but some MLB teams maybe did not conduct enough due diligence. We know now, great statistics in Asia do not mean the player will be productive in the U.S. Early on, some MLB teams wanted to have a Japanese player and sometimes they went out and over paid for a player based on his past abilities in Japan. They had the data and some looks on the player, but maybe only 80% of the information they were used to having when scouting a player. In some cases, these teams just rolled the dice with the information they had and got burned. I think we all know now that there are many other intangibles that need to be looked at in addition to statistics.
GSI: Do Japanese and American teams tend to place value on different statistics?
Stevens: To be honest, I cannot really answer this question. I really do not know all that goes on behind the scenes with how teams use their statistical analysis. I work with a lot of different scouts and stats guys associated with MLB teams, and I can tell you that they are doing a lot of creative and unique work with data. I also believe that most Japanese teams are way behind their MLB counterparts when it comes to this side of the equation.
GSI: Do you believe differences between baseball in Japan and the United States present difficulties for Japanese players who come to MLB?
Stevens: YES!
GSI: What do you believe is the one key element to success for Japanese baseball players besides skillset?
Stevens: Enough time for a proper transition to be allowed and to occur.
GSI: Thank you for spending some time with us and answering our questions.
Stevens: You're very welcome.

Sil Nim Tao (The Foundation) Exercises & Applications
Code: DVD-BM00A
International Calls: 1-865-686-4862
DVD-BM00A is the combination of video series vol. 1: Sil Nim Tao (The Foundation) and vol. 2 Sil Nim Tao Training Exercises & Applications:
Vol. 1: Sil Nim Tao (The Foundation):
This is the first in a series of videos presented by the Ving Tsun Museum on the Yip Man system. Instructed by Museum founder Master Benny Meng. This video presents a curriculum based on the compiled Siu Nim Tau level of knowledge from many Grand Masters trained by the late Grand Master Yip Man. It examines the motions and techniques, forms and body mechanics, attributes, concepts and tactics, and applications. This tape expresses the Siu Nim Tao as the text book of the system. Each motion of the form is explained within the context of the Cantonese Chinese meaning. The information is presented in several formats throughout the video - solo, partner demonstration, and application - giving you a chance to see the simplicity, directness, and efficiency of this Wing Chun lineage.
Vol. 2: Sil Nim Tao Training Exercises & Applications:
This second video builds on the format demonstrated in the first tape, this time covering the fundamental exercises and drills. These exercises and drills directly relate to the Siu Nim Tau set, serving to build and develop skill and reinforce body mechanics. Paak Sau, Laahp Sau and Don Chi Sau are presented through motions and techniques, forms and body mechanics, attributes, concepts and tactics, and applications. The Siu Nim Tau form is a textbook; these exercises and drills are the laboratory to explore that great book. After training at this fundamental stage, the student should have an understanding of stability and how to maintain his ground in a self-defense situation.

I hate doing my makeup for events and t.v. appearances. Hate it. And I'm not very good at it either. It takes too long and it never looks very good. But thanks to Blushington in Dallas, looking good at an event isn't a problem anymore!
Blushington provides professional makeup application at affordable prices in a super-cute and fun environment. I love walking in and hearing old-school Michael Jackson playing on the sound system. I sit back and relax and sip champagne while having my makeup done. It's the best! I've had my makeup done by four different artists and I've been thrilled every single time. I highly recommend it if you've got a special event to attend. Check out the website at www.blushington.com - they've got a location in L.A. too!

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 19067
can't chaneg video/mpeg mime types
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:59 EDT
This happens with both 6.2 and 7.0, but I can't seem to select both. I
always select individual packages to install and don't have a log handy of
either install. The problem is that I can't change the Open/View action for
the video/mpeg mime type. I first try using Gnome Control Center. The
default is xanim, but I don't like that, I change it to use mtvp (MpegTV).
In the dialog, whatever I type in is remembered. I then go to a gmc window
and double-click an mpeg file, depending on whether xanim is installed, the
file is eithered opened with xanim or I'm given an error the xanim can't be
started. I have tracked it down to (I think) /usr/share/mime-info/mc.keys,
which sets the mim-type video/* to use xanim. Changing these lines in any
way doesn't seem to remove that mime-type association, however, instead it
just breaks it. I've tried commenting them out and gievn open/view settings
for each individual video/<type> mime-type, but they don't take. This is
the only file I can find that is setting this association. I hope I've been
as specific as you will need, but don't hesitate to request more
information should you need it. I can be reached at
mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks.
Maybe jrb has ideas....
we are deprecating gmc in favor of nautilus, given that this bug is not critical.

Making a terrarium is a fun activity for parents and kids to share - they can be as small as a jam jar or as big as a tank. Let their imaginations flow with the design.
Step 1:
Pick up a see through glass container from an op shop. Any size or shape, depending on available space.
Fill the base of your container with decorative rocks or gravel, to provide good drainage.
Step 3:
Add an optional layer of charcoal to prevent the soil turning sour.
Step 4:
Place a layer of Spagnum/Irish Moss to prevent the soil draining down into the gravel. It also keeps the roots dry and healthy in their own little microcosm. See below.
Select plants with similar water requirements.
Position your plants and build the soil/potting mix around them.
Step 6:
Turn your terrarium into a magical world with shells, rocks, fairies, houses. Position near light, but not in direct sun. Water once a week with light spray (too much moisture will make it moldy).

Colts hire ex-UGA OC Brian Schottenheimer
Brian Schottenheimer's unremarkable time in the SEC has officially come to an end.
The former UGA offensive coordinator has been hired by the Indianapolis Colts as a quarterbacks coach, the team announced Monday afternoon, after he spent only one season in Athens, Ga. It was a move expected to happen based on an ESPN report from Sunday. For Schottenheimer, the stint marked his first time coaching in the college ranks since 2000, when he was a tight ends coach at Southern Cal.
Under Schottenheimer, the Bulldogs finished with the nation's 83rd-ranked total offense and averaged just 26.3 points per game, with the latter being the lowest mark among the state of Georgia's four FBS schools (Georgia Tech, Georgia Southern, Georgia State). The decision was made to not retain Schottenheimer after UGA fired coach Mark Richt at the end of the season.

Canadian Premiere
Making their Canadian Premier, L-E-V is an adventurous new ensemble of fiercely talented dancers, the culmination of years of collaboration between two Israeli creative superstars. Since 2006, Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar have created a stream of critically acclaimed original works for some of the world's leading dance companies, including Batsheva Dance Company. This explosive company is the confluence of movement, music, lighting, fashion, art and technology – each uniquely expressive while emotionally entwined.
House is an extreme close-up, fragmented, cinematic collage of images capturing human relationships that flicker and vanish. The movement of the nine forcefully brilliant dancers is precise and fiercely controlled - all nerve, bone, and sinew. The vibrant, hypnotic music by composer Ori Lichtik accompanies dark, androgynous, and atmospheric dream-scenes that connect like a psychological labyrinth.
This performance contains brief nudity.
A magnetic meeting of hip hop and contemporary trixters from Montreal and Calgary who are rethinking the mash up of contemporary and urban dance forms.
Tentacle Tribe is a Canadian-Swedish creative alliance between Emmanuelle Lê Phan and Elon Höglund. This Montreal-based dance company creates uncommon dance works with a contemporary twist, using conceptual Hiphop and influences from a subterranean and aquatic universe of earthly creatures.
They made a strong impression with pieces for Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize and the RUBBERBANDance Group, generating interest among critics from the very start with their personal creations. In a delectable fusion of music and movement, they invent a geometry of harmonious urban contemporary dance that they call "conceptual hip-hop" or "deconstructed street dance".
These autodidactic creatures of infinite possibilities approach choreography through a wide variety of movement philosophies. Active participants in the street dance scene, b-boy and b-girl, contemporary dance, and as stage performers, they formed Tentacle Tribe. They wish to create work that transcends the boundaries separating movement styles, and pieces that express the embodiment of music beyond technique. The work experiments with intricate partnering, refined musicality and a saturated dose of physical choreography.
Extreme arresting looks that weren't always pretty and in fact were often ugly was the way a lot of the Club Kids looked. A lot of them were outcasts wherever they came from, so they came to New York and they were part of this freaky scene were they are stars.
Together in a Separate World explores the interplay between intimacy and longing and the loneliness we sometimes feel in the company of others. Originally developed for Dancers' Studio West's AIR this works is now presented at the Fluid Festival with a year of thought and exploration supporting this evolved, full scale, technicolor version.
Christopher Clare, Danielle Wensley, Tara Wilson, and invited guests.
Forever working forever wishing forever lusting forever seeking forever losing forever beaten forever exhausted forever fearful forever envious forever sacrificing forever dreaming forever trapped forever labouring forever aching forever itching forever hungering forever eating forever shitting forever washing forever sweeping forever dusting …ahh f#?! it, forever in blue jeans.
Enter the subconscious mind of a woman suspended between Western and Oriental realities.
to be or not to be: A Very Important Verb is a solo of negotiation and discovery; an offering of vignettes into a surreal world that exposes the weight of cultural expectation and the light of being. This work began as an investigation into Tzeng's identity as a second-generation Canadian born Taiwanese. The solo deals with questions surrounding foreignness, exoticism and the polarities of bicultural identity.
A photocopier with its signature flashing, white, fluorescent light to transfer and mass produce the original placed on the glass. A woman dressed in black trench coat makes endless photocopies of herself reproducing warped images of the female form. An Exhibitionist as someone revealing oneself in public, she is a performer performing for the spectators to spectate.

EPCOR CENTRE's Arts Learning Centre
Through FINAL SAVAGE LAND, Cummings questions whether the fabric of our society is founded in an inter-webbing of human relationships that thrive on a reliance for each other. Estonian Composer Arvo Pärt's piano composition "Fur Alina" serves as inspiration for this new work. Part explains that, musically, through the coupling of the notes, the neutrality in each note's autonomy is disrupted; creating a togetherness that is disturbing in its own beauty. Cummings has transferred the concept of this coupling onto the dancers, illustrating the nature of co- dependency through movement and dance.

Two twisted, idiosyncratic takes on life, love and reality.
With invited music collaborators
Reality is inspired by Katie's fascination with the nature of being and becoming. This solo is a blind and imaginative system of navigation, between the reality of the performer and the reality of the audience. What leads us to think about what it's like to exist? How do these perceptions change from moment to moment? Why come to the theatre to experience reality?
Katie's keen take on observational humour, idiosyncratic questioning, and physical experience, lead us to experience a cross section of realities from the present, past and future; of things we understand and things that we don't know exist. This is choreography that pulls the rug out from under any notion that dancers don't have a funny bone.
When relationships are ropes, and attraction a tight knot. A web of connections that tie us up, and tie us down. From gentle touch to forceful grip, we are bound together, and let down if things unravel.
The choreographic team of Catherine Hayward and Shayne Johnson perform their next dynamic collaboration, after their incredible danceStarbored positioned them as choreographers to watch. Equally brilliant as choreographers and performers, they bring their distinct take on duets to the stage.
A wildly fluid mix of performances exposing Calgary's creative underbelly and the distinct creative perspectives percolating in the zeitgeist.
Fluid performances. Fluid ideas. And a drink in hand. All squeezed in to the Wine-Ohs bar.

A U.S. appeals court on September 7 rejected efforts by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump to temporarily bar most refugees from entering the United States.
In the latest legal blow to Trump's executive order targeting refugees and people from six predominantly Muslim countries, the New York State Court of Appeals ruled that refugees who have "bona fide" relationships with U.S. resettlement agencies should be allowed into the country.
The court also ruled that grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins of legal U.S. residents should be exempted from Trump's 90-day ban on travelers from Iran, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen.
The court added that "it is hard to see how a grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, sibling-in-law, or cousin can be considered to have no bona fide relationship with their relative in the United States."

Dating should be enjoyable and should change your life for the better. However, a lot of people have trouble
with dating so instead of enjoying the experience, they end up disappointed and in some cases, bitter.
The problems people have with dating can be caused by the pressure to have fun. Dates are supposed to be
relaxing and casual. When you go on a date, you are supposed to have a good time and be happy that you made the
choice to date the person you're with. A great date will end with both you and your date wanting to see each other
again soon. For some people, a great date is one where they end up having an intimate time together.
The following are some suggestions you can keep in mind when you are on a date to make it more enjoyable. These
suggestions will also help you succeed at getting that intimate time you want with your date.
1. Don't let your date see you are nervous or anxious. Your date may find your vulnerability attractive, but too
much of it can turn off your date.
2. Make sure you focus on expressing interest in your date. Sure, your date will want to hear about you as well
but make sure you don't brag or give your date the impression that you are full of yourself. Show interest in your
date by asking him or her questions.
3. Make sure you use your manners! It is obvious to most of us but some men have trouble remembering that
manners matter on a date.
4. In general, try to pay for the date if you are a guy. If you are a girl, you can offer to pay for part of the
date if it is not the first time you have gone out with the person you are dating.
5. Look your date in the eyes. It is important that you have good eye contact on your date. This shows your
interest in your date and what he or she is saying. Your overall body language is important too and needs to show
you are relaxed and having fun.
6. Show your sense of humor. You don't have to be a comedian to make your date laugh. You will find that if you
try, you can find funny comments to make including ones that make fun of yourself. Making your date laugh will help
both of you relax and have fun.
7. Don't pretend to be someone else. It is important that you show your date who you are instead of trying to
impress him or her with something you are not. Honesty is always the best policy on any date.
These tips can help you enjoy your dating life and be more successful with the opposite sex. Dating is not that
hard if you know what to do and what not to do.
